A visit yesterday to 'The Rib Man' with his stall between King's Cross and St Pancras. Tale one soft white bap, shove in not one but two fistfulls of shredded, slow-cooked pig and dollop on the barbecue sauce (I wimped out of having the 'Holy ######' sauce option).

Pretty damn good. I normally adhere to Miss Piggy's adage that you should never eat anything larger than your own head. Fortunately, I have a very large head.

The area North of the two stations is undergoing much improvement. Wander up towards the canal, past the giant rainbow-lit birdcage with the swing inside, and you see the fountains in front of the art college. It's still a work in progress, but much less seedy than it used to be.

A big heads-up for anyone in/heading to London - the last two evenings (around 6pm), I've walked overground between Kings Cross and St Pancras and noticed that the Eat Street food stalls are staying open late. They normally close at about half past two, so I'd need to take a half day off work to sample their wares.

Just checked the Eat Street website, and the new opening hours (for the duration of the Olympics) is 11am - 8pm.

I like the food you get at camden market. Gourmet it isn't but it's interesting, varied, tasty and cheap.I've just been cleaning out my food cupboards.I've found lots of half empty packets of curry ingredients- cardomom, coriander seeds the lot. I've just blitzed the whole lot together, regardless of ratios or anything like that: I make curry by the seat of my pants as it were, anyway: result an interesting easy to use curry powder.
